Q.Optimum Distance Between Different Varieties Of Mint

Zone DH4 4SQ | Anonymous added on January 15, 2021 | Answered

I currently have a few different kinds of mint in the garden. It’s a fairly big garden so they’re not close to each other because I’ve read that mint will easily cross-pollinate. So, my question is how much space should I leave between different varieties of mint to maintain the integrity of each type?

Can you plant them 100 yards apart? That is optimum but not usually feasible for home gardens. Here are some tips you can try with pollination:
